Acura's RL has undergone a significant redesign for '09, focused on giving customers even more of what they expect from the company's flagship sedan. Aggressive exterior styling includes a prominent "power plenum" grille and a redesigned aluminum hood that conceals a powerful new 300-bhp 3.7-liter engine. A revised version of the Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic controls gear changes with Formula 1-style paddles, or the straight-gate console-mounted shifter. Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system has been improved, and updated coil springs, shocks and a larger rear anti-roll bar have been added for better control. Technophiles will appreciate the three loaded trim levels: RL, RL with Technology Package and RL with Technology Package plus Collision Mitigation Braking System.
